Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate seat, becoming first Muslim senator

Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Senate seat, becoming the first Muslim senator in U.S. history, and declared victory in his post-election speech. The 42-year-old Detroit native defeated Republican Mike Rogers, telling supporters in Detroit, "Michigan, we did it!" He criticized Rogers' campaign content, stating his name and faith are not why voters struggle with gas, groceries, or medical costs. El-Sayed addressed parents who struggled to explain the president mocking someone's name or prayer, saying, "Tell your children tomorrow that the bad guys lost." He emphasized, "America is big enough for all of us."
